Blackheath and the Blue Mountains are tangible on Mirror Mountain. From the album's name down to local Blue Mountain artist Andie's vocal feature on "Promises," the album feels rooted in the place in which it was made. From this place of comfort and inspiration, the album's light synths and quickened pace take flight. "It just felt like we escaped to this little paradise," Angus says. "We hadn't written up here for ten years. It's where we started, and we grew up here, and it's where we had our first bands. It was returning home, but we wanted to go in a new direction, so it felt fresh, not like going backward. It was returning to our roots but also with this new feeling to it all." In the essence of 'returning', this album sonically reflects the beginnings of the band - exploring more instrumental beats and electronic scapes, reminiscent of the natural beauty that surrounds the mountains and the nostalgia of high school stories that haunt every corner.
